Elongated polyproline motifs facilitate enamel evolution through matrix subunit compaction by Jin, Tianquan, Ito, Yoshihiro, Luan, Xianghong, Dangaria, Smit, Walker, Cameron, Allen, Michael, Kulkarni, Ashok, Gibson, Carolyn, Braatz, Richard D., Liao, Xiubei, Diekwisch, Thomas G. H.

“…Together, these findings establish a direct relationship between polyproline tandem repeat fragment assemblies and the evolution and the design of vertebrate mineralized tissue microstructures. Our findings reveal that in the greater context of chordate evolution, the biological control of apatite growth by polyproline-based matrix assemblies provides a molecular basis for the evolution of the vertebrate body plan.…”
